[Q] Format data reboot - HTC Droid DNA

I had just decided to update the ROM on my DNA to NOS m7, I downloaded it and flashed it like normally, however the ROM won't boot, just sits at the HTC bootloader. I decided that I would reflash the old ROM I had, however after copying that to the internal storage, it seems to have corrupted my data partition. Whenever I tried to format data / factory reset in clockwork my phone would instantly reboot.
Now it won't boot past the bootloader, and I can not flash any rom or do anything with the data partition, Is there anyway to fix the partition and flash a new ROM?
Thanks,
Mitchell

need help please

I've decide to format my SD and install clean rom without any files at SD.
I've flashed the radio, wiped all what I need delvik,chance and data. I've flashed the rom and....nothing! Its stock at the logo of the rom (virtuous eclipse 1.0.0) in my case and nothing happened...
I removed the battery and contacted the SD to the computer and I found out that no file have been created and the SD is empty except the zip rom on it.
Did anyone can tell me what is the problem?
I have rooted evo 3d with unlock bootloader I use 4ext as recovery, my hboot is 1.49.1107 and my radio is 11.25.3504.06_m.
Something very important I had this rom and its works fine, I've done backup and when I'm restore it lots of apps don't work like 4ext when I want to get into recovery its stock and I have to get out the battery....
thank u all
Try restoring your backup and once your booted into your rom go to settings/sd & phone storage and format your sd. Then replace the rim you were about to flash back on your sd. Then reflash the rom.

Are you S-OFF or S-on? In 4ext recovery have you turned on the SmartFlash feature?
Try flashing boot.img seperately using fastboot.

when flashing other ROMs, use a superwipe script or wipe everything manually (data, cache,system etc )......Some Roms wont boot if you havent wiped system.....
Some Roms include a wipe script.

I formatted my SD because I wanna clean SD. I've made vipe delvik and chace trough cwm turn off my evo, removed the SD (I had a 4ext partition on him so I delete her with Gparted )and then formatted my SD. I copy virtuous eclipse rom to the SD and try to flash it and its got stack at the blink logo for half an hour
I removed my battery go to bootloader and flash 4ext recovery, made super wipe and trying again to flash the rom - I got the same result.
I tried to flash the boot from the zip file trough the bootloader and flash the rom again and again the same result.
I decided to try working roms for sure like leedroid's rom, I flashed him and its worked!
I want an ics rom with sense 4 so I tried to flash will1972's rom, its the first ics rom that someone published and get lots of bugs, I manage to flash him and its worked!
I try again to flash again the virtuous rom and got the same result, get stack at the blink logo...
I've done backup of the rom when its work (virtuous) and now when I'm restore it lots of thing doesn't work properly , like 4ext, like restart....
I think that something is avoiding the command to get the hardware and do what she had to do...

Can't mount partitions...?

I have a phone that is refusing to cooperate. It's probably because I suck at Android.
I'm trying to get ANYTHING on this phone, but it just won't do it. I have fastboot up and running, and flashed CWM. I used ADB to sideload Cyanogen, and rebooted to the HTC logo looping.
Thing is, CMW 10.1, TWRP 2.4.3 and 2.4.0 cannot mount the SDcard, system partition, data, or cache. I earlier flashed the kernel to the Blade kernel, and flashed back to stock thinking this was the issue.
The main issue: get those partitions mounting, then get a rom on.
BTW, if anyone lives in Victoria, BC, I will pay you to get this thing off the ground with all features working.
AW: Can't mount partitions...?
there is nothing to mount
its a MTP device.
Which phone version did you own? International or AT&T / TELUS?
Have a look here and read Q6.

Well, majority of the tutorials that I'm looking at describe flashing from sdcard, etc. Which I cannot do.
AW: Can't mount partitions...?
yes i know, but there is no physical sdcard.
only a partition with the "sdcard" folder "data/media"
I'm having the same problem with my HOX+ (India), the only solution i found is to go for a factory RUU. But no ruu is avilable for my phone
Hope u'll find for yours..
Had the same problem. Try first flashing original recovery. Erase cache. Boot system. Do a factory reset from within booted rom. Then bootloader: Erase cache. Reflash recovery (custom). Erase cache. This did the trick for me.
.... Sorry just realized you can't boot. Did you flash the apropriate Blade kernel for AOSP? However, best would be RUU

Dev unlocked, installed CM10.1.3, but can't flash from recovery

So I am S-On, running CM 10.1.3 stable.
I was on OTA 3.16.651.3 with 2.09 hboot when I successfully unlocked my bootloader using HTCDev unlock and installed TWRP and SU using BigDaddy619's kit.
I wanted to try out CM 10.1.3 stable ROM. I was able to transfer the zip via usb to the Internal SD, then Installed inside TWRP. I then realized I needed to do the boot.img kernel flash using fastboot. I did this, and the phone booted up!
I have tried CM for the last 3 days, and like some aspects, but I really want GPS and Bluetooth to work.
So I tried to flash back to zhaus's stock ROM. The problem is I no longer have an internal SD mounted, and the phone won't let me download files. I can not for the life of me figure out how to remount the internal SD so I can download to it. Plus, the phone won't allow me to fastboot update or push the file to the phone using ADB. It's weird, since fastboot works but errors, but ADB doesn't even find my device.
Another odd thing is when I enter TWRP and try to do a factory reset/wipe, it always says FAILED.
I am super confused on how to proceed in switching back to a stock ROM. Hoping someone can throw me a life preserver.
You need to format your internal storage. To do this, boot into recovery and connect your phone to your PC. Select the 'Mount' option, then select your internal storage. You should then be prompted to format your storage on your computer.
Also, when wiping with TWRP, choose the advanced wipe option and select Dalvik cache, cache, data & system.
GPS should be working on that build of CM. You may need to try the GPS fix from a Sense ROM before dismissing the issue as GPS simply not working.

I'm confused, because both of those things work fine on CM10.1. Methinks you should S-OFF to avoid these types of issues going forward . . . .

I don't think I properly installed CM 10.1. I initially tried to flash cm-10.1.3-jewel inside TWRP, BEFORE flashing the kernel with the extracted boot.img in fastboot. I never tried to re-flash the cm-10.1.3-jewel zip after flashing the kernel.
My second mistake was selecting factory reset in the bootloader, which screwed up the Internal SD mount.
Thank you guys for the replies.

It's best to avoid a factory reset from the bootloader. Anything you do as far as wiping should be done from recovery. Don't sweat it, though, you aren't the first person who has done it and you surely won't be the last

[Q] Boot Loot -- Help!

Here's my situation--I had been running MeanBean for a while and decided to try Kush's KK build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518211&highlight=loop). I flashed the recovery he linked to, then installed the rom and gapps he linked to. TWRP said everything went successfully. But, when I reboot, the phone just hung at the HTC splash screen. I tried flashing again, downloading fresh and flashing again, wiping the cache, etc. Nothing worked.
So, I decided to go back to my last nandroid of MeanBean. But, after TWRP "successfully" recovered to the latest nandroid, I got stuck in a boot loop. The phone gets through the first part of the boot animation, then freezes and reboots. I tried installing a fresh version of MeanBean, flashing back to TWRP 2.6.3, but nothing has eliminated the boot loop.
I'm s-off and I've never gotten stuck like this before. Anyone have any thoughts?
Reboot to the bootloader and run the command "fastboot erase cache" from a command prompt, then try a fresh install. Are you sure you're S-off?
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Thanks for the suggestion. I erased the cache from fastboot and did a fresh install of MeanBean. No luck--still in the same boot loop.

Have you tried fastboot flashing the boot image from the rom? You shouldn't need to if you're s-off but couldn't hurt if you're still getting boot loops.
Sent from my EVO LTE
Thanks, Fin. I tried fastboot flashing to boot.img separately (which shouldn't be necessary with s-off) after a fresh install, and I'm still in the boot loop. Any other ideas?
Go to recovery, do a full system wipe (data, system, Dalvik & cache) and re-flash the ROM after a fresh download. Really, though, you shouldn't have to wipe cache, since it's under /data.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Okay, did a full wipe, got a fresh download and installed. Still in the same boot loop. I also tried flashing TWRP fresh again. Any other ideas or am I bricked?

What ROM are you trying to flash at this point, and also, which recovery are you using, the one posted in Deck's OP, or one from the TWRP website? If you're trying to flash a 4.4 ROM, use the recovery posted in Deck's OP. If you're trying to flash a different ROM, use the regular TWRP recovery.

Trying to flash MeanBean, which is what I've been using previously. I flashed the regular 2.6.3 Jewel TWRP.
It sounds to me like you have the same problem I did. When in recovery and you wipe caches does it say failed? Look into your internal sdcard and if it is empty then it has been erased and corrupted. If so remove your sd card and plug your phone into your pc and mount usb. If it says the card needs to re-format then that is your problem. Re-format your internal sdcard and replace your external sd-card. Flash meanbean and reboot.

Hmm, don't think that's it. I've been able to mount internal storage and wipe the cache, etc. just fine.

Help HTC One M9 Sprint No OS iNSTALLED TWRP 2.8.6.1 No Fastboot S-On

Hello, I need help. I tried to update my phone to a new ROM and now it is only booting in bootloader and says there is no OS. I have downloaded a RUU that matched, renamed it and put it on my microsd and tried to flash it but it reboots in TWRP. I have a backup and when I try to restore it says Restore Complete Failed---E: Cannot restore System -- mounted read only. I really love the M9 and want it back up and running can anyone please help me get it back functioning? It does not have fastboot option and adb server out of date. Pretty much a noob here. I have flashed other Roms before, but this M9 is proving to be a pain. I have been researching thread after thread and still no luck. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks I figured I will look at how to relock the bootloader without fastboot. I honestly didn't think I could install a rom because I figured most needed MM7 and I dont have that installed which is what happened when I tried to install Viper Rom
Got it working again. I had to restore only the boot and system image. After it rebooted I then restored data and it's back to normal.

i woke up today and my phone died of charge. I plugged in the charger and tried to power up my phone. It was stuck in a bootloop. So, I went into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, rebooted, and still didnt work.
I then went to wipe and did the thing where twrp asks to do a factory reset by wiping cache, dalvik cache, and data. Still didnt worl, so i took out the sd card and did it again. Still bootloops. So, i then wiped dalvik cahce, cache, system, and data. Now, my phone is stuck in the white HTC logo with red text. and twrp tells me there is no os installed, are you sure you want to continue?

Hey did you get it to work? Just seeing this post. If you backed up your system and boot images boot into twrp and flash those copies you made before the wipes. See where that gets ya. Hopefully you got it fixed by now.
